Hi all,

What is the status of Cg now within CS as it is no longer under active
development by nvidia?

Regards

Phil

Ah I wasn't aware of that. Does that mean that CG is dead or has it been
taken over by someone?

Greetings,

Greetings,

See: https://developer.nvidia.com/cg-toolkit

It is dead and though there is the already available downloads for now.
Making use of it would be a wasted use of time and resources imho.

If GLSL covers everything then we should probably retire Cg.

Can someone try to get the missing parts from CG over to GLSL (like this
reflection clipping and anything else that we might still miss).

Once this is sufficiently tested we can then indeed drop support for CG.
